Stop calling me "my dear" .

Very sad that people today don't believe that such swimmer talent existed, they only can think in terms of drugs... very shallow thinking! I know that she never took drugs. and you can think whatever you want. Truth remains TRUTH!!!

[hibiscusq]

She was a talent! She floated ON the water not IN the water. Her body and bones were special.

4 másodpercet verni a teljes mezőnyre, hihetetlen!!! Óriási úszó, nagyon föl kell kötnie a gatyáját annak, aki ezeket a sikereket meg akarja ismételni :))

@zsozso016

Winning by 4 seconds......only Leisel Jones and Mary Meagher can totally dominate a 200m race like that!

@tambur728 Perhaps just as impressive was done by Sybil Bauer of the USA who was a backstroke expert in the early to mid 20's. She won the 100 back at the 1924 Games in Paris, and at one time held every world record women could swim. But the most incredible thing was something no other female has ever done to this day: she held a backstroke world record that was faster than the existing men's world record. But I still agree that Egerszegi is one of the best ever women's backstrokers.

[tambur728]

the BEST female swimmer EVER!! american an DDR-swimmers with dopping couldn't beat her (see Seoul the germans swimmer an Egerszegi). she was the greatest talent in backstroke swimming in the world ever!

She not used steroid. See the 1988 olympic games , she 14 yo  and 40 kg...

@TTURedRaidr Might be true of US and east german swimmers.

Not even her oppponents/adversaries accused her of that,but only

a noob or a total fool could come up with that nonsense.
